Patent GB-190804969-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Charging Apparatus for Blast Furnaces and the like.
Filed: 1908-03-04
Granted: 1909-01-07
Abstract: 4969. Allgemeine Elektricitõts Ges. March 5, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Motor control systems, switches.-Arrangements are provided for rotating a blast furnace hopper after each discharge of a truck-load of materials, through an angle dependent on the number of truck-loads constituting a charge. As shown in Fig. 2, for use with a single-track lift, the hopper is rotated by an electromotor 25, and the period of rotation is determined by a drum switch 42 having fixed contact fingers a ... k and movable contacts 43 of different lengths. The switch is rotated by the motor or the hopper through an electro-magnetic clutch 45. When the truck is discharged, circuit is completed at the terminals P, and the current flows through the coils of the clutch 45 and switch 47, through the switch 42 by way of one of the contacts 45 according to the position of the. adjustable arm K, and through the coil of the motor switch 40. The switch 47 is thus closed to allow of the withdrawal of the truck, and the motor is started. After a certain time dependent on the length of the contact, circuit is broken by the switch 42, and the hopper is left in position ready for another wagon load. The switch 42 is returned to its original position by a spring. The lengths of the contacts 43 are arranged for charges consisting, say, of 8, 10, 12 ... 24 truck loads. When a double-track lift is used, the hopper is rotated alternately through angles of x -< >y anb x + y, where x is the angle between the positions of the truck loads, and y is the angle subtended at the circumference by the tracks. When the angle y is greater than the angle x, the hopper is turned through angles yx and 3x - y, to obviate the necessity for reveri'al. The connexions for a double-track arrangement are shown in Fig. 3. The switch 42<1> is provided with two clutches 45a, 45b, and is moved in one direction or the other according as the circuit is complete at P' or Pl. For the contact at which the angles x and y are equal, the hopper is moved only after the discharge of the truck on the rails at P'. To prevent the completion of the circuit for this position when the truck on the rails P' is discharged, the conductor m, which is connected with the coil of the clutch 45<b>, is broken as shown.

Patent GB-190810222-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to Repeating Fire-arms.
Inventor: SCHWARZLOSE ANDREAS WILHELM
Filed: 1908-05-11
Granted: 1908-08-06
Abstract: 10,222. Sykes, W. R. May 5. Gas and like engines.-A special form of explosion engine is used for generating the power necessary for working railway points or signals in their immediate vicinity, the ignition being brought about by electrical means from the signal cabin. Fig. 2 shows one form of the engine. When the lever K in the signal cabin is put over, an electric current passes through two carbons i, i<1> and energizes an electromagnet G, which attracts an armature g and thus admits a charge of the combustible fluid, supplied under pressure from the pipe d, into the combustion chamber C. As soon as the pressure rises sufficiently in the cylinder, an arc is produced in the ignition chamber H, through the action of the flexible diaphragm J, and explodes the gas mixture, thereby forcing out the piston. When this reaches the end of its stroke, the current is interrupted at 8 and the exhaust valve F opens under the action of the spring g<1>. The exhaust may also be effected by a port near the outer end of the cylinder. Various other methods of igniting are described. In one, the flexible diaphragm is dispensed with and an induction coil and vibratory armature are employed ; in another, a circuit containing an incandescent igniter is closed by the pressure of the gas ; and, in a third, a similar igniter may be contained in an adjacent chamber shut off by an intermittentlyactuated valve. The cylinder A may be replaced by an expansible or diaphragm chamber.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture of Warp Pile Fabrics such as Terry and Turkish Towels.
IPC: D03D27/08
Filed: 1909-03-01
Granted: 1909-07-08
Abstract: 4916. Taylor, Ltd., T., and Dawson, H. March 1. Pile fabrics.-Warp pile fabrics, such as terry and Turkish towels, are woven in a fast-reed loom, in which the lay beats up after every pick. Two pile warps p<1>, p<2> or p<3>, p<4> are drawn through each reed space between two ground warps g<1>, g<2> or g<3>, g<4>. In the weave shown in Fig. 3, the pile warps in each space cross after two picks, the pile warps in the odd spaces crossing after the even picks and those in the even spaces after the odd picks. The ground warps in each space cross after every pick. When the lay beats up, the reed and the weft nip the crossed pile warps against the ground warps, push the pile warps forwards, and thus form pile. Preferably the pile warps are drawn from the beam by passing between two rollers, of which the lower is rotated by ratchet gearing. At least four healds are required for the pile warps, but a jacquard may be used to form patterns and spaced healds to form stripes or checks. By shedding the pile warps over and under two wefts and one weft alternately, Fig. 5, the pile on one face is formed by one half of the warps and the pile on the other face by the other half, which may be of different colour, no pile being formed at the second and fifth picks. By shedding the pile warps over two wefts and under one weft alternately, Fig. 7, pile on one face only is produced. Between the pile picks, extra ground picks may be inserted, a longer pile being produced.
